how is the RQ FOR PROTEINS =0.9?

Solution
RQ is the ratio of:
RQ = volume of carbon dioxide given off
volume of oxygen taken in
The value of the RQ depends upon the type of substrate used for respiration. For proteins, RQ is 0.8 - 0.9 (due to the wide variation in protein structures).Value of RQ for protein is so less because protein are poor in oxygen.
